Hrmmm I'm sort of attempting the NaNoWriMo challenge, but not really?
I'm trying to take my own personal spin on it, really. Like-- just overall using this particular event to personally encourage me to work on a previous writing project.
Because I've been working on a story for nearly two years, and the first part of which is pressed at a current 101k words. I've been rewriting it though, and changing up complete sections and what have you, so I'm sort of taking this month to sit down and force myself to finish the rewrite and edit it out.
Currently at about 27k words into the rewrite, and I've minused about 6-9k off of the original since I'm trying to properly downsize the story (hopefully to around 80k). A lot of that 27k was done prior to November, though and, due to my power being knocked out from Hurricane Sandy and my mother staying home this week, I haven't typed as much as I'd like to for this month thus far. : /
So I guess really I'm the opposite of the actual NaNoWriMo challenge because while the challenge is to just go for a rough draft, I'm more of trying to edit something into a completed work ahhhh
I'd still like to think it counts somewhere though because I was at least inspired to really sit down and work by the event? I dunno
